La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Falconer]

-snip-

Girona is actually strong enough, they could win against Villareal and Sevilla, they got a draw against Real Sociedad and Athletic Club. But they were defeated by Real Madrid. However, since most of the match played by Girona against average teams, their strength isn't proven yet. Moreover, they failed to prove it when they played against Real Madrid. So, they probably have the chance to lose points against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. But if they can get points in the match against Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, I can believe that Girona has the capability to be the champion this season.

Real Madrid performance looks quite well. It seems a small chance that they will lose points in the next matches. Moreover, mostly Real Madrid will play against average teams for the next few matches. Meanwhile, Girona will play against strong teams in La Liga. The next few matches will test how strong Girona is.

Real Madrid is superior in quality or squad depth compared to Girona, so it is natural for Girona to lose. Girona was able to hold Bilbao and Real Sociedad to a draw, this is proof that Girona is really serious this season. But still, I don't expect Girona to fly so high that they have definite hopes of winning the La Liga title this season. Really, it is very embarrassing for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid especially because they are one of the poorest teams in La Liga this season.

Girona has many obstacles in its efforts to maintain performance. They won't be able to get through that without problems especially because of the lack of experience and depth in their squad. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are two better teams than Girona, so I think Girona will drop points in that match.

they got a draw against Real Sociedad and Athletic Club

Girona unable to win against such middle table teams like Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao clubsides is one reason why their title chase seems like childs play and why its also speculated that they could miss out on the top 4 places for champions league football next season.

Do you think the Girona squad is good enough to fight to the end?

[Weawant]

Barcelona is very confused at the moment because they are always closer to Real Madrid but this time they are 4 points away and are in 4th place in the standings. Another victory awaits Real Madrid because their opponent is a weak team in the relegation zone and Granada doesn't seem to have the slightest chance of winning. Granada will still be stuck in the relegation zone deeper with defeats to come and Real Madrid will definitely win with a landslide score.

Real Madrid ideally by their performance so far and this team depth and form they are definitely going to win Granada with ease especially for a team at the temporary relegation zone on the table but then I don't think they should be underestimated because a similar cas happened recently.

A team at the relegation held a bigger team to a draw, same happened in the UCL where a supposed small team held a tougher and bigger opponent to a goalless draw, it's now common amongst smaller teams to always want to pit up a tough resistance against bigger teams and possibly look to get a win but in most cases ends in draw, but then I hope it turns out differently with real Madrid .

That is possible, 14 matches, 2 draws and 1 loss is a good record to compete for the La Liga title this season. Girona is better than Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao, but you can never expect it to beat all teams even if they are teams in the relegation zone. Girona has quality players even though most of them are just ordinary players who have good motivation and enthusiasm. This team's work ethic is good enough to provide contention this season, but they are a team too prone to slip-ups.

Don't underestimate Girona even though they don't have a more qualified squad than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Girona can take advantage of the opportunity to get higher points when the three top teams fail to win a match. But if you are a fan of one of the top three teams, then don't worry about Girona.

Even with the Injured players absent, they have done well both in the Champions League and Spanish League Competitions. They're going to defeat Granada most definitely Granada have lose too much to face Real Madrid with a very high confidence.

Real Madrid should anyways maintain focus. They shouldn't forget they are having good season and also a hard one to imagine that they're being followed gracefully. Itss another day to see Rodrygo scoring as he steps up to replace big players like this for tactics.
The Las Pamas line up tonight shows that they don't want to share points with Getefe. That game should draw.

Correct your quote correctly, you are not quoting what I wrote.
Real Sociedad and Bilbao are strong teams, so it would not be bad for Girona to draw against both of them. After all it is difficult for Girona to win all the games and I never hope that to be their record this season. Girona will have more losses or draws in the rest of the season, so that should be an advantage for Real Madrid and the other teams and you might agree on that.

Girona's record this season is too good, but I believe they cannot maintain that record as La Liga rolls on. The games and competition will get tougher, so I would place a lot of doubt on Girona's ability to maintain their consistency. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will fight hard to win the title, but I think Girona will only fight to qualify for the Europa League or Champions League next season.

[Leviathan.007]

Real Madrid will probably just have fun with their match against Granada, as Granada is a fairly weak opponent and is very unbalanced against Real Madrid. So Real Madrid will only use the match to have fun while winning the match with a certain number of goals at home. And apart from that, Real Madrid also needs to make a point gap with Girona in the La Liga standings because Girona is also likely to win when they host Valencia at home in this week's match.

Real Madrid likely gonna cruise pass Granada tomorrow and this is also a chance to rest some key players and I trust Carlo Ancelotti to do just that. Girona needs to win that match if they really have a goal of winning the league or making top 4 this season because they still have difficult matches and so they have to get the points where its more easy for them.

The situation of Real Madrid for the match they are going to have against Granada is getting weird and they are not in the good situation because of the midfielders.
Jude Bellingham didn't train with the team and his situation is not clear, other players like Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga are also injured and it seems even Luka Modrić is not in the good form for this match. they are going to have against Granada.

-snip-

Atletico Madrid still has the opportunity to collect points and have 1 more match in the 14th match, namely against Barcelona. This is a quite difficult match for both teams, Barcelona is not in good condition but Barcelona has a good advantage because they are playing at home.

Yes, this will be quite a tough match because after all, for now they will be competing for 3rd place. Their number of points is really the same, but the difference is that Atletico still has 1 more match. Even though we don't know yet whether this match will be superior or not. For Barcelona, both of them will definitely go all out because after all, they are definitely aware that both of their strengths are really strong. All that remains is for those who can optimize their chances. For Barcelona, they have to be careful and not let their guard down, Xavi has to prove again that Barcelona is still a very strong club to be reckoned with.

According to current news reports, Jude has an ankle problem and may need to rest first.
It's unfortunate that he's just recovered from a shoulder injury but I don't think it's too much of a problem because looking at the current situation Madrid can still play well especially when their opponent is Granada so with the current squad I think they are able to finish this match well.
It's just that in this case anticipation must be there, especially with the start of Jude who experienced this problem could have an impact in the future.

[tiCeR]

At least in my lifetime, I have not seen many other teams other than Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid dominate the La Liga table. And the reason why Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are getting away with not performing as they did previously, especially Barcelona, is because the competition is not very good. Imagine this Barcelona team in English Premier League. They would have been a mid table team in my opinion. It would have been hard for them to participate in the Champions League competition. The performance of Real Madrid is okay in my opinion. Atletico Madrid has improved their performance in this season. But in previous few seasons, we only saw Barcelona and Real Madrid having a competition at the top.

It usually was about the three teams yes and from time to time there were some stable teams that could make it to position four or five pretty reliably. Now Girona is the only team that is really surprising and it is indeed true that Barcelona got away with mediocre performances because there was no pressure coming from behind them. The race for 100 points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is not realistic at the moment. That was quite the thing when Ronaldo and Messi dominated La Liga and both had an incredible team behind them. Maybe Atletico can approach their old levels this season.

Yep, even though for now it doesnt have a big impact, it's just that with the situation that happened, especially with several players who are still under treatment, things like this can certainly be disturbing for Madrid. We know in the last few seasons Madrid's problem has been injuries and not just today but also Benzema when he was at Madrid the problem was a recurring injury that always came so there needs to be special treatment now for Jude so that he is not too easy to get injured especially now that he is one of the key players from Madrid which could be if this is not anticipated from the start it will be problematic for the future of Madrid.
But facing Granada at the Bernabeu will not be too difficult for Madrid and sure Madrid can definitely with 3 points.

Barcelona has recently had difficulty winning matches. Lewandowski is not in great form and he has been missing a lot of goal scoring. Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo were the two players who made the difference in the match against Porto in the Champions League, but Xavi may have to get many of his players to improve their performance including Lewandowski. Lewandowski's goal streak has stalled so far, I mean he's not as sharp as last season.

But it might be good to hope that Barcelona can get full points against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona plays in front of its fans at home, so they can take advantage of home advantage to get in better shape. De Jong, Pedri and Ilkay Gundogan are likely to be mainstays in midfield, they can provide stability in team play for Barcelona. Barcelona won the last 3 games against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, so the odds are pretty good to expect them to win.

[shogun47]

For Girona a win in this game would be important to keep their momentum going. The draw against Bilbao isn't the end of the world and Bilbao is in quite good form. But against Valencia, I think Girona should come out on top unless a bad day is waiting for them.

Atletico and Barcelona will be taking points from each other and Atletico is still one game behind. If Barcelona loses this and Atletico plays that game they have in reserve and wins it, Barcelona could fall behind a little bit. It is still nothing too bad, but whatever their goal for the season is, the La Liga title will be going to be tough for them.

Valencia performance not quit well such as Athletic Bilbao and not difficult opponent team for Girona next match after losing points last match from Bilbao, Girona dropped to 2nd position although have the same points and lead goals productivities from Real Madrid but have conceded many goals and loss first meeting make them have been under Real Madrid position on current La Liga standings awhile. Both top teams between Madrid and Girona will face weakness opponent team with Real Madrid vs Granada and sure not problem for winning three points. Looks the same with Girona regarding the opponent team upcoming match have inconsistent performance and Valencia dropped on 9th place will be easy for Girona defend the second position.

I think interested match in this week Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid, draw result will be more advantage for Madrid and Girona because both teams have four points left from Madrid and Girona points.

Girona must stay down to earth and wait for their chance when the others have their issues. If they don't lose contact to the top, the chance could come when Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico play in the final rounds of the Champions League. Maybe they will try to give some of their players a rest from time to time and take some risks in La Liga. But before I get into speculation about player rotation, Girona has to make sure that they are still around when the time has come.

Pablo Barrios the player of Atletico Madrid was injured in the past and he was out. This young player had a good performance so far in Atletico Madrid and now because of his absence, this team will be under more pressure. But Pablo Barrios had surgery today and this midfielder can return after about six weeks to his team.

Real Madrid isn't really underestimating any team. They have also played a solid game against Napoli. Sometimes they are playing the minimum necessary to win the game and for as long as they win the games, what can anybody say against it? They win their La Liga games and they win their Champions League games despite suffering from some injury drawbacks. Solid is what comes to my mind when I think about Real Madrid. That is the difference between them and Barcelona for the time being.

Every single point is important in the League because it could make you lose or win the league so I don't think Real Madrid will underrate any team. Real Madrid has qualified for the Champions League next round, so they will now focus on the La Liga for the main time. I thought that the injuries sustained by these important players such as Eduardo Camavinga,  Vinícius Júnior, Aurélien Tchouaméni, etc, would have a negative effect on the team but it seems that they are even playing better without these players. The club is rich so they can afford to have many players that could serve as backup in cases of injury and suspension. We should also note that Carlo Ancelotti knows how to manage players and they are fortunate to have versatile young players like Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo who can play in almost all the attacking wings of the club.

The last time Granada won a game in the La Liga was August 26th against Mallorca. Which entails that this game can be easily predicted considering the quality of Real Madrid. But in football, there is no certainty, we can only speculate. Granada can decide to pack buses in the defence and target to use counter-attacks. However, we expect Real Madrid to win this game for them to maintain the top spot.  

It is Real Madrid after all and they can cope with injuries against a lot of the other teams. Napoli isn't the best test to see how far Real Madrid can go despite injuries. I think if they have to deal with injuries in a game against some of the Champions League favorites, it might be more difficult for them to get away with it as well as they did against Napoli.

That will certainly be a good time for Girona to get more points and remain balanced at the top of the table. They have done well to reach there but the harder part of it is maintaining their position there which is the most difficult aspect of it. We can’t say how far these teams will go in the champions league but I feel they will have to hold on for a longer time at that top spot before they can get this opportunity they’ll be waiting to grab to help sustain them more in the first position. We all know that it will be very hard for Girona to win the league but nothing is impossible with hardwork and perseverance.

Atletico Madrid mission to fight Barcelona is not an easy task at all, especially in an away game even though the game will not be held in Camp Nou due to renovation.
Atletico Madrid should win in this game to increase their chances to stay in top 4 in La Liga. I can't decide which team to think gonna be the winner so I say draw.
Grenada and Real Madrid will have separate games tomorrow and they are expected to win

That was not a serious problem. The young player can be replaced with another one who was as good as him. I see it as no problem for atletico madrid. As long as the club has someone who was capable enough to replace him and everything is fine.
Atletico madrid just need focus to implement the strategy that may make barcelona struggle. Atletico madrid needs only to use the fully defensive strategy. Im sure it will make barcelona feel so stressed with it.
It will make atletico madrid is quite easy to give pressure to the club. Barcelona is always struggling against parking bus strategy. This is the main reason why barcelona was not able beating rayo.
Atletico madrid can copy that strategy and i hope simeone will put three points above than everything else. Winning three points from barcelona is far important rather than playing beautiful football.

Barcelona has recently had difficulty winning matches. Lewandowski is not in great form and he has been missing a lot of goal scoring. Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo were the two players who made the difference in the match against Porto in the Champions League, but Xavi may have to get many of his players to improve their performance including Lewandowski.

De Jong, Pedri and Ilkay Gundogan are likely to be mainstays in midfield, they can provide stability in team play for Barcelona. Barcelona won the last 3 games against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, so the odds are pretty good to expect them to win.

We have to look at the games of both teams in their last 5 matches in La Liga because this will make you more confident in betting on this match. I see Atletico Madrid being more consistent in the last 5 matches in LaLiga compared to Barcelona and also in terms of team depth where the Atletico Madrid players are increasingly confident in being able to continue their winning trend. From the front line Atletico madrid has Griezmann and Morata where they are in their best form because they often put pressure on the opponent defense and for Griezmann he certainly has his own way of breaking into Barcelona goal.

On Barcelona front line, of course they only rely on Lewandowksi to be their goal machine and so far lewandowksi has experienced a setback in his performance and that will be a big problem for them. I think Atletico Madrid chance of stealing points in this match is quite big and they have to be ready for all situations to work hard and beat Barcelona in this match. I predict 2-1 for Atletico madrid to win.

[TelolettOm]

I think Ancelotti will put Bellingham become a striker if Joselu or Rodrygo need to be substitute, with the lack of players we've seen not popular players are playing e.g. Ceballos and Nicolaz Paz, they might use their young players again.
Lucky for Real Madrid they will not face strong club in this month, so they can prepare more and not play too hard.

It is very possible. But I think Ancelotti will prefer to let Joselu playing full time (until the end of the match). Joselu has a good fitness, he rarely got injury. So, it won't be a problem to give him much time to play. I think it is the right time to give Joselu enough time to prove his quality as Real Madrid striker. If he can score goals, Ancelotti may consider to put him in the main lineup. Anyway, Ceballos and Nicolaz Paz deserve to give more times to play, they played quite well in the previous match. Moreover, Real Madrid will play against weak teams, it is the right time to see their quality.
